Gemini CLI can be installed on both Windows and WSL. I also hope Claude Code can be installed directly on Windows soon.
I asked it to edit a certain project right away, but I encountered API errors, possibly due to congestion. Even when using the 2.5pro model, it was sometimes forcibly switched to 2.5flash.
While continuing the editing, the response stalled for over 5 minutes, forcing me to terminate the process manually. Afterward, I checked the token consumption and found that it had exceeded 2 million tokens!
The above error kept repeating endlessly!
Despite this, I persevered. A process that takes about 5 minutes with Claude Code took 2 hours of continuous thinking and still didn’t finish, so I had to force stop it.
Ten million tokens!? Seriously!?
Honestly, it still needs a lot of improvement before being practical for programming use.
By the way, I highly evaluate the Gemini model. Often, if I pass Claude Code’s output to Gemini, it suggests improvements and helps me a lot.
That’s why I was surprised by the current situation with the late-released Gemini CLI.
At the very least, I hope they release an update soon to prevent infinite loops.
